Selected Student Feedback
“I think this course was excellent. Alan is a very effective lecturer.
He has organized his class in a manner that both stimulates interest
in the subject and successfully fosters effective learning in the
challenging time-pressured environment of a 5-week summer course.”
“Alan is a great and responsible teacher, he is a very humorous person.”
“I thought Mr. Hou did a great job with the time that he had —
he was efficient and effective while being mindful not to induce
too much stress. I only wish the course was longer so that there
would be more time to absorb all of the material, but that may be
out of everyone's control.”
